Dancing with the Stars: Week Two Results

After last night’s escapades, two questions remain: will ABC try to pretend like the Sarah Palin-booing didn’t happen? And can Michael Bolton really survive a three? The show didn’t waste any time getting things underway. Kyle/Lacey, who I now believe are the frontrunners this season,… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week Two Results

5 Disney Films that Deserve A Broadway Musical

Just read the news that a Broadway version Newsies is in pre-production at Disney Theatrical. On one hand the mind boggles. The movie was a flop, few of the songs memorable, and it was made almost 20 years ago. On the other hand this is the biggest ‘no duh’ move that Disney Theatrical has ever made. Newsies has a small but obsessive fan following, it helped launch Christian Bale’s career (although I’ve heard he regrets his participation), and Kenny Ortega was the director and choreographer. Thankfully, they’re planning to make some changes, add some songs, and re-write the book before it hits the stage and they’ve got serious talent, like Alan Menken etc… lined up to produce the new show.

This has me thinking. What other Disney movies are just waiting for their Broadway Treatment?
